About
Ioannis Paliokas is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, computational thinking, and educational robotics, with a particular focus on bridging gender gaps in STEM. His most-cited work, "The Impact of Physical Computing and Computational Pedagogy on Girl’s Self – Efficacy and Computational Thinking Practice" (2021, 11 citations), demonstrates his commitment to evidence-based interventions that empower female students through hands-on computing education. Paliokas’s research reveals that integrating physical computing and robotics into pedagogy significantly boosts girls’ self-efficacy and engagement in computational thinking practices, challenging decontextualized approaches that often alienate underrepresented groups. Beyond this, his broader contributions explore how tangible interfaces and immersive technologies can transform learning environments, making abstract concepts accessible and motivating. With a growing citation impact, Paliokas’s work is shaping modern educational frameworks, advocating for inclusive, context-aware computing curricula. His achievements include pioneering studies that link computational pedagogy to real-world self-efficacy gains, offering actionable insights for educators and policymakers. For students and researchers, Paliokas’s research serves as a vital resource for understanding how technology can foster equity and deeper learning in computational fields.
